The High Court has declined to stop the arrest and prosecution of Flexitech Group Limited and its directors over allegations that the fintech firm failed to remit more than Ksh.30 million collected from customers on behalf of Naivas Limited.
The court dismissed an application for interim conservatory orders by the company and its directors, ruling that the risk of reputational damage and loss of business does not, on its own, justify halting a criminal prosecution.
The judge held that allowing prosecutions to be stopped merely to protect the reputations of businesses and prominent individuals would undermine the administration of criminal justice.
